At the risk of ending up with sausage and egg on my face, I think we're going to hear something today.
I suspect we’ll hear absolutely muffin’.
It will be a case of self harm. The longer this process takes the more likely we will have a limited transfer budget. That will affect next season's performance which will affect the valuation of united next year.
If we don't, I'll literally do a McFacePlant
No, not joking. It would appear that both bidders are confident of winning. Presumably, they have both been given reason to be confident (ie Glazers have them working on final details of the deal (rather than negotiating), which means they can pull the trigger on one of the two offers at a time of their choosing and have the whole thing wrapped up very quickly from that point).
I believe the only reason Jimmy thought he was ahead was so the Glazers could squeeze Qatar
Do Americans have bank holidays? Wasn't aware their public things were the same.
Yea that guy is useless for both news and views.
Don't know too much about American holidays but I'd bet my left testicle that Raine aren't closed for business today, or any day for that matter. The pursuit of profit never rests.
Yeah it's different closing to us and preventing our £15 deposit for an haircut to a potential 6bn transfer hah.
He is joking!
Doesn't look like it from his next tweets?!
I mean there is though. If it was such a big exclusive that's been backed up then he wouldn't be dropping it on a fan channel. He'd be revealing that via the company he works for.
Fair enough mate.
My feelings exactly mate. I just don't see how those two articles generated so much hype/excitement. Most of what was revealed was what I suspect most people assumed anyway.
@Suv666 understands this tweet is absolute horseshit
Hardly surprising. A lot of footballers have sold their souls.
Daniel Harris is a diehard United fan. I don't think he would put tweets like that out to intentionally mislead the fanbase. He's clearly hearing something.
Islam is generally slightly (or more than slightly) homophobic (as are other religions, usually to a lesser-extent). Are you that surprised to find that kind of nonsense posted by someone from Qatar, where there’s a stricter form of Islam, and this kind of viewpoint is more the norm? If Jassim takes over, you could put your house on members of the board and probably SJ himself having the same views, they might even post them sometimes (when they let their guard down). When City and PSG players wear rainbow laces or do something for Pride week, it’s not because the owners enjoy a night at Horse Meat Disco…
He's also put out transfer shite before that was obvious bullshit from the moment he put it and obviously never came to anything
Seems pretty clear that J&A want SJR and the siblings want Qatar. That scenario is pretty consistent with everything being said. So one of the Glazer factions will have to back down or it will be a no sale disaster and they all lose along with us.
I reckon that's a lot harder to prove. Turning down an offer is a lot more clear cut than dithering, which can be explained away quite easily.
Thanks for that clear and concise update. I'm almost sure we'll be either sold or not sold in the near to distant future.
I tend to agree, the guy on the you tube who said Jim bid was dead in the water worked for Bloomberg and said the minority share holders would be a huge issue. The key word here is ‘Untoward’
That’s exactly my take on it too, perfectly summarised - good post
Your sources sound impeccable mate.
Yeah definitely mate, if you look at what even the reputable outlets are saying. They're not really committing one way or another. As far as the reporting goes Qatar seem to be in the lead but then who knows if that's the Glazers trying to entice another bid out of Jim.
I think he started his life on Football365 which is full of snarky dickheads, so you’re probably right.
